Operating the HomeLink
H
Universal
Transmitter
Once it is programmed, the HomeLink Universal
Transmitter can be used in place of your hand-held
transmitter(s). To operate, simply press the
appropriate button on the HomeLink Transmitter.
The red light comes on while the signal is being
transmitted.
NOTE: If your hand-held transmitter appears to
program the HomeLink Transmitter, but does not
open your garage door, and if your garage door
opener was manufactured after 1995, your garage
door opener may have a “code protected” or
“rolling code” feature.
A “rolling code” type of system will change the
“code” of your garage door opener every time you
open or close your garage door.
To determine if you have one of these systems,
depress the button on the HomeLink Transmitter
that you programmed. If the red light on the
HomeLink Transmitter flashes rapidly for 1-2
seconds, then remains on, your garage door opener
has a rolling code system.
Training a Garage Door Opener
Equipped with “Rolling Codes”
To train your “rolling code” garage door opener to
operate from your HomeLink Transmitter, follow
these steps:
1. Program your hand-held transmitter to the
HomeLink Transmitter by following the
procedures outlined in the “Programming”
section of these instructions. (If you already
completed this programming, proceed to the
next instruction.)
2. Train your garage door opener receiver to
recognize your HomeLink Transmitter. (Your
garage door opener receiver will learn to
recognize the HomeLink Transmitter by
following the same procedures used to train the
hand-held transmitter.)
